A photo of an outdoor event under a large red and orange patterned canopy with striped fringe. A woman in a saffron-orange sari with a pink flower garland stands on sand at left, hands together. A long row of men and women in white shirts and dhotis or white clothing stands behind a table covered with red cloth and gold trim, holding brass vessels and steel pots, several with hands folded in prayer. One person at right wears a lanyard and white clothes with hands joined. A bamboo pole stands at left. Roughly a dozen people are visible.

A photograph inside a large decorated tent with ornate patterned fabric and strings of colourful bunting overhead. Long rows of tables with people seated on both sides are being served food. Several men stand or walk through the aisle; one in a white kurta with an orange shawl and a green lanyard stands centre-right, and a man in a white kurta with a green lanyard stands at right. A young man in an orange shirt stands near the centre-left, and a child sits at a table in the foreground. A large printed portrait of a bearded man in orange-and-red headwear is hung on the back wall, flanked by green and red garlands. A camera operator with a video camera stands at the lower left.

Background shows a white multi-storey building and green palms. A red bag and a blue bag sit on the ground in the foreground. A printed copyright overlay is in the lower right corner.

A large white tent hall filled with a dense crowd seated on rows of red-cushioned benches and folding chairs facing a stage at the far end. In the foreground, several young boys in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas stand at a long table of offerings, some holding bells and lamps, while priests in white dhotis sit cross-legged on the floor at left with ritual items before them. Seated guests on the right include a woman in a yellow sari and men in white shirts and dhotis. Strings of yellow and white flowers decorate the tent poles, and a figure in white stands near a camera on a raised platform at the back.

A wide hall with a white tented ceiling and hanging colourful decorative banners with elephant motifs. On the right, a standing figure in a long saffron-orange robe with long dark hair stands on a raised white platform beside a red velvet curtain; the robe and hair are cues consistent with a person, but the face and distance leave appearance uncertain. Along the left, a long line of men in white shirts and dark lower garments stands with hands folded in prayer. Near the centre, several people in white dhotis and kurtas stand around a small table, and a figure in white and red stands at the right-centre doorway. The floor is pale tile with orange-brown border lines. Ceiling fans hang above.
